Evo8LTW,

No, the White Rabbit was left on my 04' RS when I sold it. I'm getting the deal that FP has on the exchange for the IX turbo. Basically, it's $895 plus your good core. I'm having it ported also which is an extra $45 dollars I believe.

White Rabbit exchange is $849, but honestly it makes more sense financially to sell the WR and just buy a used Evo 8 or 9 turbo. I just bought a 9 turbo, and am haveing that exchanged. I looked at a few 8 turbos, which were 250 bucks cheaper...but the turbine housings were way too rusted for my tastes.

 

BTW,

If anyone needs one, I have the stock turbo off my 2004 RS that was removed at 8,000 miles when I installed the WR. I'll let it go for $200 plus shipping. I believe that the exhange fee for those is $999 which would bring the total cost of an FPGreen to $1199...... not too bad!

Tony

 

That has a 9.8 turbine housing though no?

 

Yes, but there is a thread somewhere on here that states it's actually a better deal because they upgrade the housing to the 10.5.

I'd check with FP to make sure, but from what i've gathered, it's a steal to do the exchange with this turbo.

Tony

 

i think the 20glt is the same as the green

 

No they use whatever turbine housing you give them. So if you send them a 9.8, thats what youre getting back. I just talked to Robert at FP this Friday since my turbo is there. You can take that to the bank

 

Your going with the FP green also?

 

Soon2bevo,

Thanks for the clarification! That would make it a 1450 dollar turbo then if you wanted the 10.5 hotside...

Still not bad!

Tony

 

Yes.

No problem! Yes, its still a decent deal!

 

Yeah, if you can actually get them. I'm going on a 2 month wait here. Which IMHO is B.S. when they advertise the product as being in stock ready to ship, especially so when Robert himself takes my order on a Thursday and tells me it will ship that following Monday. What is it with ethics and business...oil/water???

 

So... you have been waiting two month already?

I ordered mine on the 13 and ETA was two weeks. I am hoping that they will expedite the order as promised.

 

Good Luck with that.

 

so you can exchange an 05' VIII turbo for the green? anyone have a link? i was browsing FP's site and couldn't find the exchange rates.

 

hondafan,
here's how it works: I paid $1500, They are sending me an FPGreen(20G9LT), poted, w/HP actuator & install kit, shiped. Upon installation, I return my 05 VIII turbo and they credit me $300 back to my CC, which means I paid $1200 total price for an FPGreen / 20G9LT turbo kit!
I just couldn't pass up on that deal. Beats paying $3600-4000 for a GT30R. I'll use the money saved elswhere, like upgrading to some June 264's from my BC 280/272's.
This is the best deal to be offered to the Evo community, period!
